I allow the main Aztec to also dry for 1 week. I have discovered that
the longer you allow the WASCO paints to dry, the more they become virtually invisible. In the mean time,
I turned my attention to creating the secondary Aztec templates. For this job, I used the fantastic free templates created by
Arthur Pendragon. I transferred the pattern to thin Styrene and using a sharp No. 11 Exacto blade, I began to cut my patterns.

This pattern cutting is also long and tedious. It took me about a week to get 4 templates. For the secondary Aztec pattern, I again used WASCO colors. This time, I have chosen Iridescent red, gold, green, and blue. I chose one of the four Iridescent colors and layed the template on one pie section and sprayed the color. I used another template, and moved to another pie section and sprayed a new color. I moved from pie section to pie section spraying a different color each time. Once all the pie sections were sprayed, I began from the beginning, layed down my second template over the already sprayed section of pie, and sprayed a new color. I did this with the third and forth templates until I had all four templates and colors overlapping each other on each section of pie.
Notice here as well, how subtle the secondary pattern is. Virtually inivisible in low light and only 'sheening' when light strikes it just right. The colors flop from one color to the next. Quite beautiful. Also take notice as to how well the secondary pattern is incorporated into the main aztec pattern. One smooth transition.
